Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal/conveyancing fees (typically around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT). Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers in Spain can generally access mortgage financing, though Spanish lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price from non-residents. Interest rates currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5% depending on the lender and product type. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this townhouse?
Community fees for this development are nil. Annual IBI (council tax) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build property; buyers should request the estimated rate from the local catastro office prior to completion. Utility connections and waste collection charges will apply once the property is occupied.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely before travelling to Rafal?
Yes. We offer video viewings via WhatsApp or video call for buyers who are unable to travel immediately. A video tour can be arranged at a time that suits you, and we can follow up with a full in-person viewing once you are ready to visit the property in Rafal.
Is this property suitable as a rental investment?
Rafal is an inland town rather than a primary tourist destination, so short-term holiday rental demand is more limited than on the coast. The property may suit long-term residential rental to local or professional tenants. Buyers considering rental use should check current licensing requirements with the Valencian Community authorities before purchase.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero), which is the tax identification number required for all property transactions in Spain. Once you have agreed terms, a reservation contract is signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a larger deposit — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance and all taxes are settled and the title deeds are signed over to you.
